But there is nothing wrong with someone who has the skill to do some of those things themselves and who derive a certain level of pleasure from accomplishing such tasks. Dad had quite a collection of tools and other gadgets for both mechanical work and woodworking. They were nearly as neat and clean as his surgical instruments. And, by god, he knew if something was out of place and there was hell to pay for whoever put something away wrong or dirty.
There's no shame in either way of living. If people didn't hire other people to do things, we'd all be experts in everything and no one would have any money.
